"And, That's the Way it Was"

Big Climate often, and wrongly, informs us the global cooling scare of the 1970's is a "myth." The myth that the global cooling scare is a myth has even made it into scientific papers.

An enduring popular myth suggests that in the 1970s the climate science community was predicting “global cooling”

So, I thought readers would like to see a video of Walter Cronkite warning us of global cooling in 1972. Just click here for the story.

The climate of the 1970's was cooler than it is today and millions -- literally -- were starving because the shortened growing seasons would not allow enough food to be grown. Fortunately, the weather warmed.

Big Climate can't even get its history -- let its forecasts of the future -- correct.
